Inventory and Cost transparency

Market data environments are expensive and complex. It is therefore essential that they are managed professionally. If not, the user firm runs the risk that the data usage easily leads to uncontrolled cost increases, as well as an undesirable exposure towards vendors and exchanges as a result of under-reporting of data-usage (see also compliance).

A successful market data management operation is therefore based on reliable statistics with respect to the market data inventory and the associated costs and contracts. Having this information, the user firm can:

• check and reconcile the invoice stream against the contractual obligations;
• create cost awareness by allocating costs and reporting cost information to the user community;
• report data usage to vendors and exchanges in accordance with their contractual commitments;
• effectively manage its data licenses and the associated costs and contracts.

TCAM helps data consumers to create and maintain this essential transparency.
